Still would use the Italian method, though.

I honestly can't remember where I've seen Hermé's French meringue method, but the Macaron doesn't. Although the French meringue can yield a slightly nicer product, it is far less reliable to produce and it is unlikely any professional would use French meringue method in commercial production. If you're interested, I wrote a series of articles on macarons <a href="http://www.syrupandtang.com/macarons" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Hi Stephanie.
